I've been taking this a little further.  I chatted to a friend in a city law firm.  He and I have often shared speaker's platforms at events and he's a good guy for puzzles

He was kind enough to elaborate on his thoughts at http://tinyurl.com/2z6smx (Ok, it's my blog, and I promise to send the text to anyone who is banned from looking at blogs).  They tend to agree with Roland's I think.

I also pondered at http://tinyurl.com/36kuwh on the potential social dangers of BlueSpam, where I do see surprisingly real physical issues associated with this use of technology.  Of course that is irrelevant to DP.

There is also a vendor whose Bluetooth Marketing is true opt in, a major and refreshing surprise: http://tinyurl.com/32fnej which shows amazing attention to detail.  Why I should be surprised that this is based in Russia I have no idea.

Certainly sets us up for a Friday discussion :)

My current thoughts are that the UKIC must either enforce against this or amend its guidelines.  Enforcement could at least be tested in the courts.  Unless, of course, Nigel or Gordon want to have a crack at it
